The reverse of the recursive formula is:

αn = 6αn−1 − 5αn−2 + αn−3

which will always provide integer outputs for integer inputs. Thus it is not surprising that the R-T-V sequences succeed in yielding septrights for negative powers.

The reverse of the recursive formula above is:

βn = 2βn−1 − 1βn−2 + 1⁄7 βn−3

which involves division by 7, meaning that there is no guarantee that integer inputs will give rise to integer outputs. This helps explain why the Q-S-U sequences do not always give integer results for negative exponents. The same idea applies to the formula below, which when reversed will divide by 49.

The recursion formula for both QR-SV-UT sequences is:

an = 14an−1 − 21an−2 + 7an−3

At the time the present report was prepared, OEIS did not index any order-3 linear recurrences with those coefficients, even those that might have other initial values.

Sequence OEIS A185963 is the closest that the present author found. It divides the coefficients by 7, resulting in the following recursion formula:

an = 2an−1 − 3an−2 + an−3
